Title: Apparatus and method for rapidly charging batteries
Inventor: HUNTER IAN
IPC: H01M10/46
Filed: 2011-10-21
Granted: 2017-02-02
Abstract: An apparatus and methods for ultra-fast charging one or more batteries, including, for example, lithium ion batteries. A charging current is determined by optimization of a model based on functions of a set of internal state variables associated with a battery, and a set of model parameters or nonparametric data characterizing the battery. Instantaneous internal state variables are determined, and an optimized charging current is applied to the battery subject to a set of battery- specific constraints. Internal state variables are updated recursively based on behavior of the battery under charge as well as the behavior, stored in a database, or acquired via a network, of cognate batteries.

Title: Vehicle, control method, and program
Inventor: ARAKI TOMOHIKO
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2011-10-20
Granted: 2015-12-17
Abstract: The occurrence of shock and the occurrence of the feeling of losing speed can be prevented. When the clutch is engaged from the state in which the clutch is disengaged and a vehicle is being driven by only the power of an electric motor, an electric motor control unit (31) controls the electric motor so that the torque of the electric motor is decreased at a rate determined by the torque requested from the driver. During the period in which the torque of the electric motor is decreased at the above rate, a clutch control unit (32) controls the engagement of the clutch so that the clutch is engaged after being set to a half-clutch state in which part of the power is transmitted. The present invention is applicable to hybrid vehicles.

Granted: 2016-07-07
Abstract: An explosives detonator system for detonating an explosive charge with which it is, in use, arranged in a detonating relationship is provided. On acceptance of a detonation initiating signal having a detonation initiating property, the system initiates and thus detonates the explosive charge. The system includes an initiating device which accepts the detonation initiating signal and initiates and thus detonates the explosive charge. The initiating device is initially in a non-detonation initiating condition, in which it is not capable of accepting the detonation initiating signal. The system also includes a switching device that detects a chemical compositional component as a switching property of a switching signal that is transmitted to the detonator system, with the switching device being capable of switching the initiating device, on detection of the chemical compositional component, to a standby condition in which the initiating device accepts the detonation initiating signal when it is transmitted thereto.

Title: Hearing aid with an H-bridge output stage and a method of driving an output stage
Inventor: ANDERSEN HENNING HAUGAARD
IPC: H03F1/26
Filed: 2011-02-28
Granted: 2015-06-11
Abstract: A digital, three-level output driver (7) of the H-bridge variety for a hearing aid (20) obtains a reduced capacitive interference by providing a primary voltage (3) and a secondary voltage (8) for the output driver (7) and applying the secondary voltage (8) to both sides of the output driver (7) whenever the middle level of the three-level output driver (7) is present in the input signal for the output driver (7). The output driver (7) may be controlled from a pulse-width modulated signal, a sigma-delta pulse-density modulated signal, or a combination of those signals. The output driver (7) produces a clocked output signal consisting of a positive level, a negative level, and a zero level for driving an acoustic output transducer of the hearing aid (20). If the secondary voltage (8) is half the value of the primary voltage (3), the positive level and the negative level is defined with respect to the level of the secondary voltage (8), and capacitive interference may thus be kept at a minimum while maintaining the power consumption benefits of a three-level output stage. The invention provides a hearing aid (20) and a method of driving an output stage (7) of a hearing aid (20).

Title: Scavenging oxygen
Inventor: CARMICHAEL ADRIAN JOHN
IPC: B65D51/24
Filed: 2012-02-01
Granted: 2016-08-11
Abstract: A food container (2) includes a rigid thermoformed plastics carton (4) which holds a dry food 6 and is closed by a removable film closure (8). The film (8) incorporates a hydride which is arranged to generate hydrogen on contact with moisture. Additionally, the film (8) is arranged to have relatively high water vapour permeability and relatively low hydrogen gas permeability. In use, water vapour from air surrounding the container (2) passes into the film (8) and reacts with the hydride to generate hydrogen. Due to the relatively low hydrogen permeability of the film (8), the hydrogen is restricted from escaping from the container. Instead, the hydrogen then reacts with any oxygen within the container in a reaction catalysed by a catalyst associated with the carton (4), thereby to scavenge oxygen within the container (2) and protect the food (6) from oxidation.

Abstract: A combination medical device comprising a circular stapler instrument and one or more portions of preformed buttress material adapted to be stably positioned upon the staple cartridge and/or anvil components of the stapler prior or at the time of 5 use. Positioned buttress material(s) are delivered to a tissue site where the circular stapler is actuated to connect previously severed tissue portions. An embodiment of the invention allows tissue portions to be joined without the use of sutures. The buttress material is made up of two regions, one of which serves primarily to secure the buttress material to the stapler prior to actuation, and one of which serves 10 primarily to form the improved seal. The former region is severed and discarded upon activation of the circular stapler to form anastomoses, while the remaining material secures and seals the newly connected tissue. Methods of use and preparation of the buttress material are also described. -ftl
